Lo
osen the screw (5) (at the U side on the pulley), and turn the pulley (1) so that the mark (2) on the pulley is
inside the mark (4) of the belt cover (3). The pulley (1) will stop more slowly if the screw (5) is moved counter to
the normal direction of rotation, and will stop more quickly if the screw (5) is moved in the normal direction of
rotation.
The standard position is when the needle bar is lowered approximately 5.5 mm from its highest position.
Timing between the needle and the feed mechanism is adjusted so that the feed mechanism starts operating
after the needle comes out of the material sewn, and stops before the needle penetrates the material.
Note:
• The screw (6) at the “D” mark is an adjusting screw for the needle down detection function and is adjusted
to match the feed timing, so it should not be loosened.
• The screw (7) is a screw for detecting the machine stop position, and should not be loosened.
